Meghan Markle is wrapping up 2025, reflecting on a year filled with business ventures and personal achievements. Despite staying busy, not all of her endeavors were successful.
The year kicked off for Meghan in March with the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and the debut of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. While her products quickly sold out, the TV series faced criticism for being overly dramatic and absurd according to TV critics.
Although the Netflix show struggled with viewership, Meghan continued to focus on expanding her As Ever brand by introducing new products like honey, baking mixes, tea, and venturing into the wine market.
In April, Meghan released her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, before taking a break to concentrate on other ventures. She also made headlines in October by attending Paris Fashion Week to support a friend, attracting attention during her visit.
Throughout the year, Meghan remained active in charity work, participating in events like World Mental Health Day in New York with Prince Harry and Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington D.C.
Despite facing criticism and social media controversies, including a video mishap and attending a party on a sensitive occasion, Meghan’s year took a somber turn as her estranged father underwent a serious health issue, leading her to reach out for support.
Looking ahead to 2026, Meghan remains dedicated to her brand, TV series, and charitable efforts, promising another eventful year for the Duchess of Sussex.
